2012 Olympics: Give Us Webcams On the Wall

I'm in too ...: Your idea is great, I hope the IOC picks up on it.

Actually this is an old idea. About 10 years back I had a satellite dish. NASCAR broadcasted a bunch of races that way. One channel had the "official" network broadcast. On 4 or 5 others they had a selection of other views, mostly in-car cameras. So you set up you picture in picture with 2 channels and flip between them when things got interesting. Or you could set up a favorites list and surf through those channels at will (ok, that was a feature of the decoder not broadcast). Now NASCAR has similar deal on the internet for a couple of hundred bucks a season. Pick your online feeds, including a lot of stuff that is not on TV broadcast.

Yup, there is a huge bundle of cash if they got to "Pay-Per-View Olympics", like "Wrestlemania umpteen-hundred". The network could recover the huge fees the pay for the broadcast rights.; Posted by: Ron_007 Posted on: 07/02/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
